Synergy Posted on 09/12/2019 (09/12/2019) by Chris Anyango POLICY ENGAGEMENT AND COMMUNICATIONS RESEARCH // WHAT WE DO // Synergy Synergy The Center has developed ways to engage audiences from researchers to policy actors to decision-makers in an effort to encourage knowledge sharing and transfer. We support the translation of evidence into usable formats for non-academic audiences. Our approach is to optimize how the Center’s evidence is used to inform discussions that lead to policy and resource allocation, at all decision-making levels. OVERVIEW A new systematic approach to knowledge management, with intuitive and routine mechanisms for tracking and analytics of all products is fully implemented. We are broadening our knowledge management portfolio to include learning, in order to provide the time, space and opportunity to share lessons, course correct and maximize opportunities to inform and achieve impact.
